"We really appreciate you letting us use this Mrs Mallik..."

"Thats no problem Mr boston... I am happy to be part of this documentary...."

"Your story was very touching Mrs Mallik.."

"Well... we all lose the sense of reality once in while... and when I lost him... I WANTED to lose my life... But something kept me going..."

"Well... I can't express enough gratitude for letting us use your last conversation with him..."

"Its always been my solution from the riddles in the past year and to let people know what a wonderful ordinary hero he was is my tribute to him..."

"We'll be off now Miss Thankyou..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

* Ring *

"Hello... Mrs mallik?"

"Yes Mr boston?"

"The technical aspects of the documentary have been handled... when would be the suitable time to come and film?"

"You're welcome anytime today sir..."

"Great today at 4 pm..?"

"See you then.."

~*~*~*~*~~*~*~

"When you're ready Mrs Mallik... chose your own words... convey any feelings... alright?"

* lights * camera * go *

"Life is strange... ups and downs... we face it all but when some one's at our side... My husband...Armaan mallik... Stuck on the 102^nd floor of the south world trade centre.... I clearly remember... It was just a normal day... I dropped our daughter emaan at her play school... went shopping... came back about 11ish... the answering machine bleeped.... 1 voicemail... normally I would have just ignored it.. but something made me press the replay button...

"I wonder sometimes that how many times I clicked that play again button.... all my energy drained out of me... The five minutes turned into lifetimes and I stood there... my finger lingering over the replay button... until I lost the energy to even press that.... The phone rung again... It got ignored... I switched on the tv... CNN showed the twin towers in flames and thats it... I remember it vividly... the concious mind spoke..'thats where armaan works' but my subconcious ignored it... 'no!!! its just a building that look likes where armaan works...' The message replayed across my eyes... he can't be... its just another one of his jokes.... yh... the stupid moron... I cursed him endlessely and yes there I was.. wrapped in the protective cacoon of my dreams within 5 minutes.... I picked up the scattered pieces of reality and arranged them again in my mind.... He was fine... the msg was just a joke... The phone strung again...somehow my eyes forced to look at the caller id and I plunged at it..."

"My heart was set... I refused to look at the real picture... The towers burnt on the TV screen.... and that when I spoke to him for the last time... I don't kno but I am very content that I spoke to him the way I did that day... and for mutual reasons I think he did too.... His lack of breath... the hoarse whispers... I ignored them all.. coaxing them into my own explanations.... people say that once the loved ones are gone.. you forget their voices.... but now I've got something to hold on to all my live.... And you know.. he'll never be gone... I was 3 months pregnant with my son arnav then.... so I always have him.... and ofcourse our little angel emaan... she's nearly 10 now and loves her dad very much... what I want to say is that... life always moves on.... and we have to with it... I live now... for him.. for my kids... and we live life on his behalf as well...."

* cut *

Tears flowed from her eyes.... she looked at their wedding picture on the mantelpiece as the little boy and the tearful little girl came run into her lap....

"I love dada mom..." He spoke...

"I love him too angels... forever and always....."
